Congratulations Master Gardeners!
The Walker-Hecox-Hickle gardens at Wagnalls are a place where Fairfield County Master Gardener Volunteers and community volunteers gather to tend gardens, identify plants and to teach youth about plants and gardens. The Fairfield County Master Gardener Friends of the Wagnalls Project Team was recently named the Outstanding Project of the Year 2021 in the Community Service category for a medium size County Program! Connie Smith presented the award to our Master Gardeners. If you would like to volunteer in our garden, please call the library.
